Disney sets final day for Cap'n Jack's restaurant

The end is near for Cap'n Jack's, a longtime restaurant at Downtown Disney.

Its last day of operation will be Aug. 17, a Walt Disney World spokeswoman confirmed Friday.

Cap'n Jack's, billed as a "floating" restaurant with an emphasis on seafood, has been open in the Marketplace end of what is now called Downtown Disney since 1975. The closure was announced in March but a specific end date was not given.

The closing of the restaurant is part of the refashioning of complex. The district is being rethemed and renamed Disney Springs, which will include more retail outlets and restaurants plus two parking garages. The renovation is scheduled to be complete in 2016.
